Sharp Edged


shattered dreams
lay silently on the floor
I pick one up
to examine the rainbows
it possessed
turning it over and over
in my hand
to see all the sides
where broken hopes
find themselves
in my fingers
sharp edged dead

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

I'm partial to prisms, as they're always turning and reflecting the light,
sometimes that's all there is when the rainbow disappears.

Sadly, this~

And thanks for an idea.

good metaphor, sometimes cut glass is too beautiful to not pick up.
